Thrift Finds: Tiny Firefighter's Jacket

Thrift Find: Aeromax Get Real Gear Jr. Fire Fighter Jacket
Found At: Salvation Army Chicago, IL
Price Paid: $3.00
Why I'm So Excited:
Three reasons!

1) This is the best quality children's dress up/costume piece I've ever seen. I only found the jacket, so it is hard to compare, but the original price for the jacket, suspender pants, and matching helmet is a prohibitively expensive $59.95. I paid $3 for a perfect condition jacket.

2) It matches Graeme's beloved, wants-to-wear-it-everywhere "Fire Chief" helmet (another thrift store find for $1).

and most importantly?

3)


Fire Chief Graeme loves it!!

Thrift stores allow me to buy a lot of wonderful, high quality toys and clothes. He gets the best European wooden toys and educational games, a wealth of books and cute outfits to wear and it is all thanks to the magic of the thrift store treasure hunt. :)

What wonderful things have you found in thrift stores or garage sales lately? Anything that delighted the inner two year-old within? :D

Perfume Reviews: The Misery Love Co.

I've (finally) been writing up all my reviews for miseryloveco's perfume oils. I am pained to discover that they've all been moved into the discontinued section of the etsy shop. (If you ever had any intention of buying these particular blends, I suggest stocking up now! Once she runs out of the small batches she made, Rhiannon is pulling them from the shop forever. :/

What have you tried? What did you think? Are you ordering any of the latest releases or the Hallow's Eve stuff before it disappears? I'm totally undecided. I've gotten a lot of bottles and have been weighing whether I need (and can afford) more than one of some of the ones I really, really love. Limited edition perfumes mess with my mind that way. I have to combat my instincts to stockpile. :D
